    Thank you! :flowers: So I was half right :lol:

    But didn't Andrew paid for renovations of The Royal Lodge? I'm not 100% sure, but I think the deal was he's paying for the work that needed to be done instead of Crown Estate and that's why his rent is so low - it's not just upkeep. And the renovations on Frogmore Cottage should by now be...

    The Duke and Duchess of Sussex to Step Back as Senior Royals: January 2020

    I actually don't care which way it'll go when it comes to the small stuff. They can live in the UK, Canada or even Cuba, whatever, I just hope we won't have two individuals with HRH status that are using their titles to make a personal fortune for themselves and their children. It's either being...

    Lord, seriously, I get that the general press is making a mess with titles, because they don't know better, but Omid Scobie considers himself a royal reporter yet this article begins with "Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan's (...)", so I pretty much decided to stop reading after that. But TBH...

    It's been like that for a while - their attempts to have more control and privacy just caused more vitriol from the press and public than if they did absolute nothing. One would think after two years they'd realize this is not working - and I think they do - which causes me to think it's not...

    This is an incredible sum of money, sure. But in reality, it's not even that much - between security cost (around 1 million per year), buying a new house, taxes, probably even paying rent on Frogmore Cottage and day to day life it's not the kind of money that will be able to support their...

    For Catherine's birthday? I think they commented on KP post with their wishes.

    I agree - I think it's another "source" talking. I'd be shocked to the moon and back if William really did say that to someone working for a tabloid.

    I too think "punishment" is the wrong word - consequences?

    Yeah, I completely don't understand why they didn't bring Archie to the UK and just stayed here until the whole issue is resolved. This is not only a professional, work matter, but this is her husband's (and hers!) family. I doubt they were afraid of papparazzi taking pictures - did we get even...

    Oh lord, THAT :previous: This was the most stupid, idiotic thing in their entire website. They'll be collaborating with the Queen. Like it's their choice. Like it's a relationship between equal participants and not employer-employee. Sadly, I really don't think Meghan learned during her...

    Well... He kind of did, it was on TV. And to me, it's airing dirty laundry. You want to talk about struggling and mental health? Sure. Talk. But maybe not to the media (that you hate so much), but go for a pint with your brother and talk things through. Go to therapy. And don't use talking about...

    If Meghan and Harry will leave, free to do whatever they want, with everything they have now, not paying for Frogmore and still getting public money will be the first time in my life when I will be against the british monarchy. Sure, let's pay for the royal family, I don't mind at all. But pay...

    I doubt the idea of Heads Together - or openly talking about mental health instead of hiding with their problems - is running to a paper or a tv station because you have issues with your brother. If you understood their message in that way, could you maybe explain which part of their activity...

    There's this wonderful phrase in polish - only a cow doesn't change its mind. When new facts come to the public knowledge, it's completely normal to change one's opinion. People don't have to stay by that one thing they said two years ago, or even a week ago, they're allowed to change their...

    Only my speculation, but I think it wasn't about lack of support, but the "wrong" kind of support. I'm guessing when she tried to work out a solution she just heard "I know it's though but keep working/ignore the press/they'll shut up eventually" - and the never complain, never explain motto or...

    BRF trademarks their stuff - it has to be done to prevent someone else using them for profits. But this below: This is what I'm afraid of. This is what I've been afraid of since the name "Sussex Royal" started to show up everywhere. Because it sounds more like a brand than a name for a royal...

    I don't know what to think about all of this. On one hand, the theories that are being run in the newspapers and tabloids right now vary from weird to crazy, everyone has a source that says something completely different and it looks like there are two camps at war that are trying to push their...

    Until Scotland Yard finishes their evaluation and changes things, me :lol: (And all other UK taxpayers too, of course!) As they are not considered "working royals", their security personel (if they have it) is paid privately. I think Prince Andrew was paying for Bea and Eugenie, if Peter and...

    I have no idea where you came up with the "living quietly someplace in the country" - look at their website, see what they've written there. There's no quiet living there. And once again, they don't want to resign, they don't want to give up anything, they still want the HRH, the Dukedom, they...

    Nope. True, she has Harry's all titles and she is a Princess of the UK, but the correct form is not "Princess Meghan", it's "Princess Henry".

    Oh, Harry and Meghan have a choice. No one here would bat an eye at "We're unhappy, we want to live as private citizens and not be senior royals" - their life is not half as glamorous as it looks like, the press is vile, everyone would understand. The problem people see here is that being royal...

    As someone who read the entire thing yesterday, YES, THAT. Not only did I read it, me and my friend talked about specific answers and what they wrote - what we found lacking is solid information "this is what we want and this is how we're going to do it". The phrase "financially independent"...

    The BP put together a quick statement and I think it's all we're gonna get today. The timing is not working in their favour - late evening and all. They'll probably need some time to regroup and decide how they're going to go about it.

    Maybe that's why they still want to be representing HM? You know, do enough so that they wouldn't have to pay. Or maybe they think Prince Charles will be funding them fully now? This is all too sad. So rushed, so unprepared, if the sources are true and Harry's closest family wasn't not only...
